Description
Our epic burger showdown is more beefed up than ever thanks to the glorious return of the beloved host who started it all: Rachael Ray! Join Ray under the Festival’s iconic white tents – along with a passionate panel of judges who’ll be on hand to crown one very talented chef with the coveted Schweid & Sons® The Very Best Burger Award. Well done (bun intended), but we saved the best for our lovely guests. You get to decide who wins the Mike's Amazing® People's Choice Award after indulging in this year’s carefully curated menu of over 30 mouthwatering burgers and tantalizing side dishes prepared by some of the country's most acclaimed chefs and restaurants. Tough assignment, but we know you’re up to the task. You’ll wash all this deliciousness down with free-flowing drinks from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio. Remember, it’s a marathon – not a sprint – so grab a drink, take a breath, and let your taste buds be your guide! Adding to the excitement, Idaho® Potato will present the Best Side Dish Award, celebrating the most creative Idaho potato-inspired accompaniment with a $2,500 prize.
